Ebook Adoption and Reading Habits

Link to October 15 Library Shop Talk blogpost (John Repplinger), "Publishers, Libraries, and Digital Lending".

Excerpt:
One of the big issues for libraries in the future will be the adoption of e-books. There has been a subtle cultural shift in reading habits among our society; people are reading more through electronic access. This is not to say that individuals are reading less from printed materials. However, what I am saying is that people seem to be reading digital materials in addition to reading what they normally read in print. This is from my personal observations of people’s reading habits instead of anecdotal evidence.
